Eleven Things That Make You Wonder If You're Secretly 7 Years Old

1.

2. Being afraid to go use the bathroom alone in the pub, so you wait quietly until a friend gets up to go and then casually accompany her, even though you've been at bursting point for the last fifteen minutes

10. Going out in sandals and no jacket when you know you'll be freezing, just because you want to wear your new clothes

11. The fact that getting your new green apple-scented candle from Ikea really made your day
